2019 Year in Review
It’s been a while since I posted one of these year end reviews. Since we are in the midst of another new year, I figured it should be a good time to look back at the year that passed as a way to document our travels and achievements for the year. 2019 Year in Review January 2019: Caribbean Cruise We started off the year with a good start. Peter relocated back to Jacksonville from Tampa, yay, and I ended up going to a different company.

Alex Prokaj’s Birth Story
Birth stories are fairly common now and each and every one is unique. Here is our own son’s birth story, which occurred this October 2019. Saturday. October 19, 2019 It was a rather rainy day.
